Loop does not iterate

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports the loop statements whose bodies will execute at most once.

The inspection does not report foreach loops with a key or value used inside the loop body. Commonly, such loops are intended to perform an action only on their first iteration (for example, get the first element of an array).
